Description

The 2009 Empire E-Vents Goggle System is a new, low profile goggle system designed to present the minimum target possible while being soft and flexible for comfort and to help keep you in the game by glancing/bouncing paintballs. The soft faceplate of the "top model" is re-enforced by a flexible yet strong mouth guard which allows the front of the mask to flex on impact, but stops full paintballs from pushing through or lifting it up, and thus protects your lips and mouth.

These goggles have a special venting system designed to work functionally with the way you breathe. The mouth vents are located so you breathe and shout through the vents rather than into a large mass of plastic or rubber as with other goggle systems. As your breath hits the front of the mask, it either exits directly or is deflected sideways and outwards. There are specially shaped vents which take the deflected breath and move it out from the face plate. These specially shaped vents project your voice and warm breathe out to the sides, and not up into the goggle. As your breathing warms the front of the mask, it heats up dry air in the "demist guide".

This demist guide is specially designed to prevent hot moist air from your breath getting through vents in the bottom of the goggle. Instead, the heat is transferred to dry air in the demist guide making it rise and move up across the lens of the goggle. As this air rises, it draws in fresh, dryer air from the back and sides of the goggle. This allows you to have a flow of air across the lens to help avoid fogging, while ensuring no moist air gets from your breath into the lens area. Side baffles in the faceplate prevent warm moist air from moving up into the goggle so your voice and hot air is expelled in the direction you want it to... out through the mask.

The 2009 Empire Events ear pieces are designed to cup around your ears so your ears can sit in a very natural position and your hearing with the goggle on is just like it was without the goggle. We didn't put excessive cosmetic venting into the mask like many other companies do, because it wasn't needed due to the advanced design and to keep the smooth, clean lines that make paint more likely to glance off the goggle and to make it easier to clean when paint does get onto the goggle.

I have owned this mask for over a year now. I live in humid myrtle beach and the mask has yet to fog, even while playing in rain. The mask offers a large range of protection of the face as well compared to other masks. The quality of the mask it superb and the only maintenance needed is an occasional foam replacement. The foam lasts about a 6 months for heavy users, however, I have not yet had to replace mine. You will be very satisfied with the comfort, quality, vision, protection, and breathablity of this mask. In my opinion, the best mask on the market.

fogs

Living in a very humid place, this mask fogs a lot, especially in the woods. I played a scenario and had to constantly wipe fog off the inside of the lens, and had difficulty seeing when I wasn't able to wipe. The mask is comfy though, and good foam.

My vents are great. They breathe easy, and are super comfortable. The almost never fog and are easy to clean. Plus, they look awesome. The only problem is that sometimes, they can loosen up a bit while I'm playing.
